Facts and practical information
The castle of Sanahuja is located on a hill overlooking the village of Sanahuja, in the Catalan region of Segarra. It appears documented in the year 1001 in a bull of Pope Sylvester II in which the fortress is granted to the Bishop of Urgel.
Originally from the 11th century, the remains show various phases of construction until the 16th and 17th centuries, when the castle was converted into a bishop's palace. In 1583, José de Calasanz was ordained a priest in the castle church. From this period is the belfry with a belfry with five eyes that served as a bell tower until 1929.
It was declared an Asset of Cultural Interest in the category of Monument on November 8, 1988.
